Altered Canvas Projects

Hi Gang Hope everyone is having a good week.
OK just to let you all know what I'm working on at the moment ... I'm working on some large canvases one for my Sister in law Karen and one for my Brother then I hope to create one for myself ... these canvases are sort of themed and will mean something to the persons they are for :o) ... Mine will be a glimpse of my inner self NOT in a narcissistic way but rather a clue into the kind of art I really like and how I see things :o) ahhhh Deep or what ...
So Keep an eye out for the first one, which should be done for the end of the weekend.
Sorry there are no Photos to share at the moment but I'm giving no clues as to what the canvases are about till they are done .. 
Wishing everyone a great day tomorrow and a great weekend to come xx
Stay safe keep it crazzzzy and keep on crafting ..
